HC Deb 08 July 1943 vol 390 c2281W
Mr. Hewlett

asked the Secretary of State for War the number of soldiers who are at present invalided owing to venereal disease; and whether such facts are brought to the notice of the Army generally?

Mr. A. Henderson

just over a quarter of one per cent. of those invalided out of the Army are invalided out on account of venereal disease. The figures themselves are not brought to the notice of the Army generally but all ranks are made aware of the dangerous results of the disease.
